ldquo;Therefore, the chance that you will transmit HPV to someone's throat by kissing and they will get RRP is essentially zero. Transmitting it to the genital tract of a partner by oral sex is probably close to zero, and the partner is most probably already carrying the virus. Bottom line - I would not worry about it unless your partner is heavily immunosuppressed due to drugs for something like an organ transplant.

The types of HPV that infect the genital area are spread primarily through genital contact. Most HPV infections have no signs or symptoms so most infected persons are unaware they are infected. Still, they can transmit the virus to a sex partner. Rarely, a pregnant woman will pass HPV to her baby during vaginal (normal) delivery. A baby that is exposed to HPV may develop warts in the throat or voice box.

Genital HPV usually has no symptoms, unless it is a type that causes genital warts. Genital warts may occur within weeks or months after contact with a partner who has HPV. More rarely, genital warts may occur years after exposure. Most people will never know they have HPV because they have no symptoms and the body's immune system causes the virus to become inactive.

Many anal cancers are caused by the same types of genital HPV that cause cervical cancer. A little less than half of cancers of the vulva are HPV-related. Several other genital cancers (cancers of the penis, vagina, and urethra) and some head and neck cancers (specifically of the tongue and tonsils) may be related to the high-risk types of HPV. Also, a high portion of skin cancers in people with weakened immune systems might be related to this virus.

No. Treatments cannot cure HPV. However, most genital HPV infections go away with the help of the body's immune system. About 70% of HPV infections are gone within one year and 90% are gone within two years. Although HPV itself cannot be treated, the cell changes that come from an HPV infection can be treated. For example, genital warts can be treated; pre-cancer cell changes caused by HPV can be found by Pap tests and treated; and cervical, anal, and genital cancers can be treated.

Getting the HPV vaccine before exposure will prevent some HPV. But the only sure way to prevent HPV is to abstain from all sexual activity. Limiting the number of sexual partners and avoiding sex with people who have had many other sex partners decreases a person's risk of exposure to HPV. HPV infection is so very common, though, that even these measures do not guarantee that a person will not get HPV. These measures are likely to reduce the number of times a person is exposed to HPV.
